Degree Audit Reporting System Team (DARS)
The Student Enrollment Services Process Owners Group (SESPOG) named a DARS implementation
team in September 2001 for the purpose of ensuring that DARS would be
ready for University community use by the fall of 2002. In addition
to replacing the Programmed Academic and Curriculum Evaluation (PACE),
it was believed that DARS would dramatically improve the quality and
accessibility of information regarding course requirements for a degree,
by major/program of study in an online environment. The vision was immediate
access by prospective and current students as well as faculty and staff
by fall of 2002. SESPOG worked from the assumption that the DARS software
and associated implementation to replace PACE was funded.
The DARS team, originally charged to make sure processes were in place for a
successful project, transitioned back to design work when it was determined
that resources were not in place for an implementation. As the team
continued to develop a recommendation for an implementation plan and
associated budget, it became evident that the resources needed to implement
the full vision are significantly greater than originally estimated.
The team developed a proposal that describes the options available to
the University and the estimated costs associated with each option.
The proposal is currently under consideration by the Integrated Systems
Project/Process Simplification Steering Committee and the Office of
the Vice President and Provost.
